Tale Summary

There was once a pretty little village maiden who was very loved by her mother and her grandmother, who had made for her a little red hood which she wore constantly, earning her the nickname “Little Red-Riding-Hood”. One day, her mother told her that her grandmother was unwell and instructed the girl to bring some little cakes and butter through the forest to her. In the woods, the girl met a wolf, who wanted to eat her but hesitated because of a nearby lumberjack. Instead, he asked her where she was headed, and after she told him the location of her grandmother’s house, he told her that they would race to reach it. He got there very quickly, and on arrival pretended to be Little Red-Riding-Hood so that he was let in, and ate the old woman. The girl took some time to reach the cottage, because she stopped often to look at nature on the way, and by the time she arrived the wolf had hid himself in the old woman’s bed. She heard the gruff voice of the wolf and thought that her grandmother must indeed be very sick. The wolf invited her to bed, and she was astonished to see how different her grandmother looked. She remarked on her great arms, her great ears, her great eyes, and her great mouth, and the wolf ate her up.

Tale Summary

There was once a little girl who was well-loved by her mother, and even more by her grandmother, who made her a red cloak that suited the child so well that everyone called her “Little Red-Riding-Hood”. One day, Red-Riding-Hood’s mother gave her a cake and some butter to take to her grandmother because she had been ill. On her way through the woods she met a wolf who asked her where she was going, because he dared not eat her there where there were woodcutters nearby. The wolf said he would try to go one way and she the other to see who was fastest, and soon reached the grandmother’s house. He called to the old woman, pretending to be Red-Riding-Hood, and she told him to pull the string to lift the latch and come in. He ate her quickly and then put on her clothes and hid in bed for Red-Riding-Hood, who, when she arrived, told to pull the string to come in. The girl thought she must have a bad cold, and when she got closer, went back and forth with the wolf:

“Grandmother, what great arms you have!”

“The better to hug you, my dear.”

“Grandmother, what big ears you have!”

“The better to hear you, my dear.”

“Grandmother, what great eyes you have!”

“The better to see you, my dear.”

Grandmother, what great teeth you have!”

“The better to eat you.”

And the wolf ate her all up.

Tale Summary

Red Riding-Hood’s mother asks her to go to her grandmother’s with cakes and butter. She must travel through the woods to get there and while on her way she meets a wolf. The wolf has the desire to eat her but is wary of the woodcutters nearby, so he asks Riding-Hood where she is going. She gives him the details of her grandmother’s house and they part ways. The wolf runs and takes the short route while Red Riding-Hood takes the long route to the house. The wolf arrives at the grandmother’s house first and pretends to be Red Riding-Hood. The grandmother falls for this trick and is eaten in one gulp by the wolf. Later Red Riding-Hood arrives to give her grandmother the gifts and the wolf now dressed as her grandmother lets her in. Red Riding-Hood comments on her grandmother’s big ears, nose, and teeth before she also is eaten by the wolf.

Tale Notes

Unlike many versions of this tale, Red Riding-Hood is not saved from the wolf by a woodcutter or a hunter. She is eaten and the story ends. This tale is the first Red Riding-Hood to be published so other authors have adapted it to continue the story and save the girl from the wolf. This tale has some words that are simplified; however, there is no obvious simplification of the tale for young readers. The illustrations are of Riding-Hood and the wolf and are in black and white. There also seem to be two different styles, suggesting that two different illustrators worked on this tale.

Tale Summary

Little Red Riding Hood is sent to her Granny’s house to deliver honey and butter. On her way, she meets a wolf and convinces the hunters in the forest to spare his life. The wolf asks Little Red Riding Hood what she is doing in the forest, and she tells the wolf about her Granny. The wolf then beats Little Red Riding Hood to Granny’s house. The wolf eats Granny and then dresses in her clothes, trying to fool Little Red Riding Hood. After Little Red arrives, the wolf calls her over to the bed and is just about to eat her up when a wasp stings him on his nose. This makes him sneeze, which scares a nearby bird, which alerts one of the huntsmen, who shoots an arrow at the wolf, killing him. Little Red is saved and is forever after wary of strangers.

Tale Summary

There was once a pretty country girl who was loved dearly by her mother and grandmother, who gifted her a red riding hood, which is how the girl’s nickname “Little Red Riding-Hood” came to be. One day, Little Red’s mother made some custards and instructed the girl to carry them and a pot of butter to her grandmother, who was ill and lived on the other side of the wood. As she is walking in the forest, Little Red comes across Gaffer Wolf, who wants to eat her up but can’t because of nearby woodsmen. He asks where she is going, and she tells him because she does not realize the danger. The wolf suggests that they each take separate paths to see who can get there faster. Little Red takes a longer time, as she is distracted by flowers and butterflies, and Gaffer Wolf makes it there first. He knocks on the door, pretending to be Little Red, and then eats up the grandmother. By the time Little Red arrives, he is waiting for her in bed. She is tricked and remarks on how different her grandmother looks. When she gets close enough and notices what big teeth ‘she’ has, the wolf eats her up.

Tale Notes

This is the moral of the tale:

"From this short Story easy we discern,
What Conduct all young People ought to learn.
But above all, young growing Misses fair,
Whose orient rosy Blooms begin t’appear:
Who, Beauties in the fragrant Spring of Age,
White pretty Airs young Hearts are apt t’engage,
Ill do they listen to all Sorts of Tongues,
Since some enchant and lure like Syrens’ Songs.
No wonder therefore, ‘tis, if over-powered,
So many of them has the Wolf devour’d.
The Wolf, I say, for Wolves too sure there are
Of every Sort, and every Character.
Some of them mild and gentle humour’d be,
Of Noise and Gall, and Rancour wholly free;
Who tame, familiar, full of Complaisance,
Ogle and lear, languish, cajole, and glance;
With luring Tongues, and Language wond’rous
Sweet,
Follow young Ladies as they walk the Street,
Ev’n to their very Houses, nay, beside,
And artful, tho’ their true Designs they hide:
Yet ah! These simpering Wolves, who does not see,
Most dang’rous of all Wolves in fact they be?"

Tale Summary

There was once a young girl who was doted on by her mother and grandmother, who had made for her a red hood, which is how she gets her nickname ‘Little Red Riding-Hood’. Hearing that Little Red's grandmother has been ill, her mother makes some custard and instructs the girl to bring it to the old woman, who lives in a different village. In the woods, she meets Gaffer Wolf, who decides not to eat her right away because there are lumberjacks nearby, and inquires about her journey. He tells Little Red that he will race her to the house. He makes it there first, devours the girl’s grandmother, and then waits in bed wearing her clothes. When Little Red comes through the door, the wolf instructs her to get into bed and then eats her when she does.

Tale Summary

There once was a young girl who lived in a pretty cottage at the edge of the forest with her father, a woodsman, and her mother, who stayed at home and tended to the cow and the food. On the other side of the wood was another pretty cottage, where the girl’s grandmother lived; she gave her granddaughter many gifts, including a little red hood, which is how the girl came to be known as Little Red Riding Hood. One day after breakfast, Little Red’s mother gave her a basket holding a cake, butter, and six eggs which the girl had found that morning, and instructed her to bring it to her grandmother, who had been ill. She advised her not to run, as she would break the eggs, but that she also must not loiter. There were many things to listen to and see in the woods, and Little Red decides to wander from the path to pick some wildflowers for her grandmother. When a wolf greets her, she is naively unafraid, and answers straightaway where she is headed towards. The wolf hurries onwards to the grandmother’s house, where he gobbles her up whole, and settles into bed to wait for the girl. When Little Red arrives, she remarks what big ears, eyes, nose, and teeth her grandmother has, not realizing it is a trick. The wolf lunges to eat her just like her grandmother, but at that moment, the girl’s father comes through the door with his axe and saves her by chopping off the creature’s head. Little red returns to her cottage and lives happily ever after with her parents.

Tale Notes

This story is more detailed than other versions and describes more of Little Red's background. It is also different in that her father is the woodsman when in other tellings, her father is not present, and the woodsman is a stranger. When he kills the wolf, also, he does not save the grandmother, as in other versions, and Little Red is saved before she is eaten.

Book Notes

This book contains a preface that introduces a framing narrative, however, the narrative is never addressed again throughout the book. Through the preface, in which a young girl named Sunflower speaks with her mother, we discover that the tales contained within this book are targeted towards children. Sunflower praises her mother’s storytelling because she “leave[s] out all the not interesting bits you know and make me understand what the story is all about.”

This tale ends before the rescue of little red riding hood and her grandmother by the lumberjack, like we see in other versions, despite the way that the loggers are mentioned early on as the reason why the girl is not immediately devoured by the wolf during their first encounter.

Tale Summary

This tale is a retelling, though the story clearly follows the usual Little Red Riding Hood narrative arc found in both the Perrault and Grimm versions of the tale. Little Red Riding Hood leaves her mother's house to visit her grandmother, meeting the wolf along the way. The wolf reaches the grandmother's house first and eats the grandmother. The ending is a strange mix between the Perrault version and the Grimm version. In this tale, Little Red Riding Hood arrives at the grandmother's house but just before she is eaten, a hunter kills the wolf (note that not getting eaten is unlike both the Perrault and the Grimm versions). The grandmother, however, does not ever emerge from the wolf's stomach (she is presumably dead, like the Perrault version). The common motif found in the Grimm version where they are both eaten but eventually emerge unharmed from the wolf's stomach is completely absent.

In this version, the wolf eats the grandmother and nearly eats Little Red Riding Hood, but a hunter kills the wolf at that exact moment. There is no mention of the grandmother again, so the wolf must have killed her when he ate her.
